Chapter 255 Rebus: Im so jealous that Im about to burst into tears!
Sprout Building.
In the office, Zhang Shuo was talking to Jiang Yue, and his secretary Dai Yutong served tea.
"Why do you have dark circles under your eyes?" Zhang Shuo was surprised.
"Can you still see it? I've used concealer." Jiang Yue was a little panicked and wanted to look in the mirror immediately.
"Are you under a lot of pressure lately?" Zhang Shuo smiled.
"You are asking knowingly."
Jiang Yue is a strong woman after all and quickly regained her composure.
Since taking over as the rotating president, Jiang Yue's workload has more than doubled, and working overtime has become a common occurrence. It is difficult to even take a break on weekends, and there is no overtime pay...
The increase in workload is only one aspect. The key is that the mental pressure has doubled, and I am afraid that I will not do well enough.
She doesn't have Zhang Shuo's ability to lift things with ease.
"The purchase of office buildings in Jingshi has made progress. A 25-story Grade A office building has been selected, with a 6-story podium building attached, which can be used as a research and development center. The overall selling price is around 850 million. Tomorrow I will
Fei Jingshi, finalize the final contract details."
Jiang Yue was very smart and didn't really complain about anything, but started to report on the work.
Is she busy?!
We don’t know how many people in the group envy this kind of busyness and wish they could replace it.
What reason is there to be pretentious?
"It's pretty good. Just watch and deal with it."
Zhang Shuo looked through the information and raised no objection.
Regarding the purchase of office buildings in Beijing, Jiang Yue had actually been communicating with him. The only time Zhang Shuo expressed his opinion was when he rejected the proposal to purchase the SOHO building.
No matter what, we can't give the foreign thieves an advantage.
"One more thing. The group has received an official invitation to hold the China Internet Conference in Beijing on August 23. Do you think you can make time to attend?" Jiang Yue asked for instructions.
"Let's go there!"
Zhang Shuo can't refute the official's reputation. When he first started his business, he could still say he was young and ignorant. If he dares to fool around like that now, he will be labeled as frivolous.
"This business trip to the capital coincides with the unveiling ceremony of the Germination Building in the capital and the negotiation of the acquisition of the Haode Map. Please arrange your itinerary," Zhang Shuo ordered.
"Then I'll go to the capital to build an outpost first."
Jiang Yue also understood. Time was so tight that she had to arrange everything in advance.
There can be no mistakes at all.
"By the way, I have one thing. I'm going to start school next month. I definitely can't go to the company and clock in on time like I do now. I'll report it to you."
For the next period of time, Zhang Shuo's main occupation was studying and starting a business part-time.
As the sprout has grown to its current scale, various things are complicated. Although things are fine internally, it is mainly facing various pressures and risks and challenges from the outside.
You can't make a wrong move.
Zhang Shuo is also walking on thin ice. He just takes advantage of the cover of the university campus to calm down his state of mind. He can also re-examine the budding development strategy from the perspective of an "outsider".
In the long run, this is a good thing.
Zhang Shuo's short-term departure was also a kind of stress test for Bu Ya's management team. While he is still able to control the situation, there is no harm in doing more such tests.
Better than the situation really getting out of control.
"All right!"
Jiang Yue put her hand on her forehead and suddenly felt extremely stressed. She wondered if she would be updated earlier if she continued like this.
dying...
"Well, you have gone to school. What should I do if I come to you in an emergency?"
Seeing Zhang Shuo's attitude, Jiang Yue also knew that Zhang Shuo was definitely not fooling around when he went to school. He couldn't call Zhang Shuo every day while he was in class.
That's not what it looks like.
"This is a simple matter." Zhang Shuo had already thought about it, "Let Dai Yutong go to school with me. I usually give her my cell phone. If there is anything, just let Dai Yutong know in advance."
"????"
Dai Yutong, who was taking notes, was confused. She was also going to Binhai University?
"That's a good idea."
Jiang Yue nodded in agreement. The administrative secretary was meant to be with him at all times.
………
August 20, Xiangjiang.
Scarlet Capital Vice President Tan Chai Ren personally went to southern Hunan and planned to invest in Lens Technology. The news has been revealed by the media and spread to Xiangjiang.
Take advantage of the weekend.
Wang Wen, the founder of Born Optical, took the initiative to meet with Lu Kai, "Last time you discussed with me the strategic investment in Born Optical, I didn't refuse on the spot. Why did your company go to contact Lens Technology again?"
Wang Wen wisely did not mention Scarlet Capital.
"Our boss is also worried."
Lu Kai quickly explained, "Seeing that the negotiation with me didn't work out, I thought of taking the Lens Technology route again. Unexpectedly, Scarlet Capital was also interested in Lens Technology."
Wang Wen didn't mention Scarlet Capital, but Lu Kai did. What a good tool man.
No need to waste it.
"So, how was your discussion with Lens Technology?"
No wonder Wang Wen couldn't hold his breath. He didn't understand the grudge between Buya and Scarlet Capital. He subconsciously thought that it was Suya and Scarlet Capital that were optimistic about Lens Technology at the same time.
This is definitely not a good thing for Bone.
"Still talking."
Lu Kai tried his best to be concise and to the point.
He could also use smoke bombs to mislead Wang Wen. For example, because of the participation of Scarlet Capital, Mei Ya has become more determined to invest in Lens Technology.
I believe it can further shake Wang Wen's confidence.
But Lu Kai didn't do that.
Because lies will eventually be exposed one day. In the future, Suiya will have long-term cooperation with Born Optics. Today’s lies will become a rift in future cooperation.
It may seem like a short-term gain, but in reality it will cause endless harm.
In the business world, it's fine to use tricks, but lying and cheating are inferior.
"Then, can we continue our last conversation?" The more upright Lu Kai became, and in Wang Wen's eyes, he was already confident, and the more anxious he became.
"From my personal point of view, of course I hope that the negotiations will continue, and it is best to reach a result in the shortest possible time. This is both my achievement and my ability to report to the boss." Lu Kai was very sincere.
"Then continue talking."
Wang Wen was very moved by Lu Kai's persistence.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "That's right."
Lu Kai remained calm on his face and took the opportunity to continue to dispel Wang Wen's concerns, "I told you last time that Sprout's strategic investment in the upstream and downstream mobile phone industry chain is not to control anyone. You also know very well, 5
% of the shares actually does not play any role, it is more like paying a deposit in advance.”
"What deposit?" Wang Wen was a little confused.
"Maili Technology is a new player in the mobile phone industry and has not established a trustworthy supply chain. However, our boss is very ambitious and wants to ensure that the first mobile phone will be an instant hit next year, so we need to prepare sufficient supply in advance. If we don't have this
With a small deposit, like Born Optics, will the production capacity be distributed to us in advance?" Lu Kai patiently explained.
The posture is not too low.
"So that's it." Wang Wen understood.
………
Monday, August 22nd.
Just before Zhang Shuo was about to rush to the capital, Lu Kai called, "Mr. Zhang, the investment negotiations with Born Optics are basically settled."
"incredible!"
Zhang Shuo smiled and praised, feeling very good.
"It's nothing to me, it's Mr. Zhang's cleverness in making excuses." Lu Kai complimented with a smile.
"Okay, let's not brag about each other. Since we have reached an agreement, Mr. Jiang and I will be on business in the capital these days. It will be up to you to represent the group and sign a formal investment agreement with Born Optics as soon as possible."
"Okay!"
Lu Kai was very excited and happy to do this.
As for Luo Changan, he was originally a bait. After he became successful, he could continue to act there and QQ Scarlet Capital in reverse.
It depends on whether Scarlet Capital can take advantage of it.
………
Just one month later, Zhang Shuo came to the capital again.
The difference from last time is that this time, the Sprout Group also has a base in the capital, so the hotel booked for Zhang Shuo is near the Sprout Building.
From the hotel room, you can see the Sprout Building.
The next morning.
Zhang Shuo attended the unveiling ceremony of the Jingshi Moya Building. The ceremony also invited officials from the Jingshi to attend, and the Jingshi side was very considerate to Moya, even including a deputy from the city government.
He is probably very satisfied with Zhang Shuo's keeping his promise.
Last month, Zhang Shuogang promised to increase investment in the capital. In the blink of an eye, he spent a lot of money to buy a building in the capital, declaring his determination to take root in the capital.
Can you be dissatisfied?
Even Jingshi TV Station gave half a minute of footage of the Germination Building that night.
It can be said to be full of cards.
"Mr. Zhang, Mr. Lei asked you to get together in the evening." Dai Yutong handed over the mobile phone.
The "negative impact" of Bu Ya's fame was that, knowing that Zhang Shuo was on a business trip to the capital, and the Internet Conference was about to be held, more and more people suddenly invited him to dinner.
"Promise."
Zhang Shuo could still turn down dinner parties with other people he was unfamiliar with or didn't know. Rebus had met him twice and had regular contact with him, but he couldn't turn him down.
The restaurant Rebus chose was a private club in the capital.
It looks very high-end at first glance.
Zhang Shuo only brought Dai Yutong and Li Feng to the banquet.
"Are you ready to take root in the capital?" Rebus said with a hint of temptation.
Don't blame him for being nervous.
Xiaomi's MiLiao and mobile phone two core businesses are in direct competition with Moya, and Moya is such a monster, it's really hard to put people at ease.
"No, it's just to integrate the group's internal resources to better leverage Jingshi's talent advantages. The focus of Bubu's business is still in the south." Zhang Shuo also told the truth.
"Well, this is a big deal."
While Rebus breathed a sigh of relief, he also expressed envy of Germination's arrogance.
Xiaomi still rents an office space.
Of course, Rebus would not know that in the original time and space, until 2019, Xiaomi was still a "Beijing drifter". He changed offices in four office buildings and had to move almost every year.
It's extremely sad.
In fact, it is normal for companies like Xiaomi to rent office space in the early stage and then build a headquarters building in the middle and later stages. Unlike Buya, which has only been established for one year, it has already purchased three office buildings.
Just one word - arrogant!
"I heard that Germinal plans to invest in Lens Technology?" Rebus finally got to the point.
